Doctors in Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Hyperthyroidism is a thyroid disorder that causes an increase in the thyroid gland's production of hormones. It is characterized by symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, anxiety, and a persistent lack of energy. The most common cause of hyperthyroidism is Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder that leads to the production of excessive thyroid hormones. Treatment typically involves anti-thyroid medications to reduce the production of thyroid hormones, as well as radioactive iodine or surgery to remove a hyperactive thyroid gland. It is important to seek medical attention and receive proper treatment for hyperthyroidism, as left untreated it can lead to serious complications such as heart failure and osteoporosis.
